MacPhail Hunting #2 tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan MacPhail.
The Register finds this sett in Clan Originaux (1880) as 'Macphail'. It adds that Johnstons of Elgin said in 2006 that a modern hunting version made for Gordon and MacPhail is simply the usual MacPhail in slightly different shades.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “MacPhail Hunting #2” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.
We are choosing retailers we trust and will list them here soon.

Our own MacPhail range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
